Feel Free

Jay Farrar

TAKE THE BRIDGE OVER NOTHING
TO WHERE IT'S COOLING DOWN
IN THE SAINTED VILLE
WHERE EVERYBODY'S WORKING
LOOK AWAY FROM THE DYED-IN-THE-WOOL
TURN UP THE NON-PROFIT RADIO AND LET IT ALL SINK IN
GETTING BY ON THE STATUS QUO
WORSE BEFORE BUT THERE'S STILL A HARD ROAD TO GO
BREATHE IN ALL THE DIESEL FUMES
ADMIRE THE CONCRETE LANDSCAPING
AND DOESN'T IT FEEL FREE
THE WORLD IS GONNA BURN UP 4 MILLION YEARS FROM NOW
IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON
CRUEL AND UNUSUAL ALL AROUND
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO UPLIFT THE SPIN THAT'S DOWN
CROPPING UP AND DIGGING IN THE FINAL PLATEAU NO LONGER SEEMS LIKE A BURDEN
BREATHE IN ALL THE DIESEL FUMES
ADMIRE THE CONCRETE LANDSCAPING
AND DOESN'T IT FEEL FREE
